What to Actually Check When Touring a Building

Grab our free industrial building tour checklist here:  https://grahamstorey.kit.com/industrialchecklist Jesse and I have toured a LOT of industrial buildings, and we kept walking  out realizing we forgot to ask the same questions over and over. So we  built a simple one-pager checklist we now bring to every appointment. In this episode we walk through the full thing: every question we ask,  why each one matters, and the mistakes that cost us money before we  started using it. What we cover: - Property overview: asking price, reason for selling, square footage    discrepancies, parking, construction type - Why the seller almost never gives you a real asking price (and how to    pull one out of them) - When to bring up seller financing on a tour (hint: not in the first    five minutes) - Building specs: dock doors, drive-in doors, clear height, column    spacing, sprinklers, power, HVAC, roof age - The sprinkler trap that can kill a 20,000 SF deal - Utility meters and why one shared water meter has cost us real money - Tenancy: rental rates, lease expirations, lease types, and how to use    a bad lease as a negotiation tool - Two tools we use to capture every tour without taking notes (Plaud    recorder + Meta Ray-Bans) If you're a residential investor making the jump into commercial, this  is the nitty gritty tactical stuff nobody talks about. Save it, use it,  and let us know what we missed. Subscribe for new CRE episodes weekly.

We've Been Working On This For Months

Jesse and I are launching something we've been quietly building for months: The Blueprint Program, an 8-week cohort designed specifically for residential investors transitioning into commercial real estate and/or people who want to get into commercial real estate.  In this episode we walk through exactly what the program is, who it's for, who it's NOT for, what the 8 weeks look like, and why we decided to build this in the first place. The Blueprint Program: What We Cover * Finding deals: where to source, how to build a pipeline * Underwriting: running the numbers and knowing a good deal when you see one * Making offers: LOIs, seller financing, and creative structures * Closing the deal: due diligence, financing, and getting to the finish line * Owning and scaling: tenant management, lease structures, and what comes after deal one If you've been listening to the podcast and thinking about making the move into commercial, this episode is the deep dive on whether The Blueprint Program is the right next step for you.
